To mark the start of the summer season, we are featuring music from the Dartmoth, Nova Scotia band, the Urban Surf Kings. Check out their website at http://www.urbansurfkings.com as well as http://www.myspace.com/urbansurfkings, where you can listen to more of their great music. We start out with “Giant Cow” from the album “get instro-Mental” and close the show with “Go Go Island” from the album “Flying Saucers Attack”. Both albums and a third live album can bepurchased on http://cdbaby.com (search for “Urban Surf Kings”). Thanks to the band for helping put us in the summer spirit!

We have a lot more here as well — news, conversation, and interviews. To start with, we speak with Bernie Cameron and Margie Beaton about the efforts going on in Cape Breton, teaching children with and using Gaelic. Something that’s very important today, with Gaelic in danger of going away there. We also hear from Alasdair, Bernie’s son, who is “playing with toys” in his house and his schoolhouse, where he is taught each day — he’s home schooled.

Next, we go back to Glendale, Cape Breton, where we hear from Dorothy Pottie for the third time. Dorothy speaks about many things this time, and though this is the last interview we have with her, we hope to return to speak with her in a short time. You go, Dorothy, and we wish every good thing for you in the year to come!

Also, you’ll find out who got the question of the program right, and who will be getting the Gaelcast prize this time. We have another question, and we hope you’ll send us an answer. But, folks, we didn’t say the right email address on the show! Write to getinfo@gaelcast.comwith every answer, question and opinion that you have!

……Its not a union thing since no one would accuse GW Bush of being a stoge for the unions. (Bush slapped tarrifs on steel in 2002)So you have to go back 7 years to find a Bush example, and there are 3 new examples in just 8 months, plus years of speeches available on Youtube favoring unions, and "its not a union thing."I'll wait for more data, but I'll stick with my hypothesis.
